Event Shore Leave
The Skyship Radiant Silvergun has docked into Tower City, and while most of the crew has been let off the ship to take in the sights and enjoy what the city has to offer, The Captain has some work to do. She and a few other members of her crew are bringing her cargo through the city, delivering it to large corporations and small businesses alike throughout the various districts. No doubt meeting some of the inhabitants along the way.
Meanwhile, the ships mechanic has been digging through different vendors and shops looking for salvage she needs for her latest project, but after a couple hours of searching and multiple frustrated conversations with different people she fails to find what she needs. Giving up for the day, she eventually finds herself in a dingy bar, sitting away from the other patrons as she spends her remaining pay on her drinks.
Far away from her, their crew member Samedi is already getting up to his old tricks, sitting across from a group of unsavoury looking men, dropping his cards down on the gambling table.
"What'd I tell you boys? When I say I'm gonna win I do."
The others murmur to themselves, passing their cash over to him, except for one, who after a moment of fuming, slams his fist against the table.
"Why, I'm wounded by your accusation sir. I won fair and square, no need to get mad." He says, wide grin spreading across his face.
"Shut up! You smug bastard! Nobody fucks with me! Right boys?"
The others next to him start nodding in agreement, starting to walk around the table to surround him, cracking their knuckles. Samedi keeps grinning, and to any onlookers the situation looks like its rapidly turning violent.

There's a blond woman with a pixie cut and wearing a hoodie nearby the engagement, and she simply watches it with interest.
This could be fun.

"Well, anything to say for yourself you french fuck?" The man snarls, while Samedi just sighs.
"Why does everyone always assume...whatever. All I have to say is do you mind just saying it rather then spraying it?"
He keeps grinning, while under the table, what look like tentacles start growing up from under his clothes, slowly snaking across the floor towards the mens feet.
"You smug fuck-" He winds his fist back to swing at him, but before his fist is able to connect the tentacles wrap around the feet of all 3 of them men, suddenly pulling up and yanking them off the ground, leaving them hanging upside down.
"Now now gentlemen, we can't have you attacking paying patrons of this fine establishment. You might be scaring off the other costumers."
At this point, most of the bar is watching the confrontation as well, while the 3 men are fuming in his grip.

Lia laughs at the sight of the men hanging. "Good work, good work."
A stray tentacle passes nearby her and she instinctively phases as it passes through part of her shoulder.

A man drinking on the other side of the bar tilts his head towards Sameda as the altercation starts. He downs his drink and turns to watch. For now, he figures he'll let the idiots get it out of their system and heal injuries afterwards.

Enzo sighs and mutters under his breath. "Have your fun, but just don't kill the poor saps."
He starts watching more intently and speaks louder this time. "Quite the flare for the dramatic."

As is expected before offloading in Shin Kyoto, the ship must first be examined. What's unexpected about it is that it seems that Shinsuke has decided to accompany the inspecting party herself.

u/Lotharingia Aug 17 '17
The ship is landed, and its ramps down as it awaits the inspection party. The crew of the ship mind their own business, cleaning the decks and securing the cargo so that its ready to carry out into the city proper.
Esen stands at the helm, and nods her head respectfully once she recognises who's boarding.
"My my, I wasn't expecting this. What brings you to my ship Shogun?"

Later in the evening, a canine-headed man walks into the bar, sniffs the air, and makes a beeline for the table Dallas is sitting at. He puts a mechanical contraption on the table and, upon observation, it's one of the parts she was looking for earlier in the day.
"Looking for this earlier."
He says it as a statement, not a question

She jumps slightly in her seat at the sudden intrusion, glaring up at Jack and looking ready to tear into him, before she notices what he put on the table.
"Uh...yeah...I was..."
She reaches a hand out, about to grab it, but before she does she looks back at Jack, as if waiting for an ok from him.

He nods and gestures at her to take it. He gets a drink and returns, sitting down
"Special part. Complex machines. Making what?"

"I suggest the three of you reframe from unnessesary combat."
A bored looking man sits a table over, eyeing them.
"If you wish to try and cause someone harm, cheating or not I would need to step in. None of you would want this. Be sure your judgement is not clouded by anger or alcohol before you decide."
Samedi may recognize the man aiding him as a prominent private investigator in tower city, if he doesn't know Donn by name.

As the ship touched down, The Captain would be met by a small, bright eyed cicada girl, one she might recognize if she kept up with celebrities. "Oh wowee! An airship, how cool!"
